Mine passed away Thanksgiving Day 2018. We used to talk a lot then had a bit of a falling out before making up before passed. We would talk a few times a week. But without fail he would call me every Saturday morning in the fall for a Gameday chat. I miss those.

I make sure to call him at least 2 times a week. And see him 1 time or more a month.

Sounds like he failed you


The phone works both ways. It sounds like if you a relationship with your dad, you have to make the calls.

I’m 34 and my dad passed away a little over two weeks ago. It was unexpected and he was only 62.

I talked to him daily. Multiple times per day at times. He was my best friend.

I thought we had a lot of time left. I’d give anything to talk to him again.

Call your dads, folks.

My father killed a woman over 80 dollars and is spending the rest of his days in prison. I haven't spoken to him in 12 years. I use to write drunken letters to him expressing just how much I hate him. I'm almost four months sober and wrote him a final letter in rehab forgiving him and letting it all go. For y'all that have a good father give him a holler. Don't take it for granted.

Had a few years when I didn't talk to my Dad. We talked about 3-4 times a week the last 25 years of his life. Wish I could talk to him now

Not as much as I should but our relationship has always been rocky.

I’ve got a great relationship with my kids though and I see them talking with me all the time when they leave the house.

My dad passed away in 2011. When I go see my mom I still expect to see him sitting at the table with a cup of coffee and a big old smile. I can get these feelings like being kicked in the gut and get nearly overwhelmed emotionally every now and then. Not sure you ever get over losing a parent. Anyway, sorry for my digression. My dad was never a big talker, but when he did.... We often just sat in silence drinking a beer or coffee, especially on our front porch. Damn but I miss those days.

Can't relate to most anyone in this thread.

My parents are still living and still together, but I don't think my father wanted kids. Had us late in his life and basically spent 20 years ignoring us, treated my mom like shite, never showed he cared about providing a functioning home, let alone a loving and supportive one. I see him once or twice a year.

When I look at my child and the lengths I would go to for her to be better off than me and to know how much I love her, I can't imagine putting myself in the shoes of someone who would behave like my father. It honestly sickens me, to be that selfish and cruel towards your own children.

He wants basically nothing to do with me or my family and I'm mostly happy to oblige.

My dad has gotten much more talkative in his old age. It still feels weird sometimes, since we had gone basically decades without having a real conversation.

My dad passed away quite a few years ago.
I did speak to my dad every day at least once. Most of the time it was more than that. He was my best friend.
